Yes, that is one of the work arounds. I found a whole host of solutions but
none of them seem to work or work for long (problem comes back). It seems
if you can only choose one option, then both options shouldn't be available.
IOW, if you choose one, the other should be grayed out. OTOH, having both
checked might be redundant. I do type fast and would rather wait till I'm
finished to spell check. Thanks for your reply
